Pineapple Express Your Way to Perfect Hair

The Late Night Hair Trick That Says, “I Woke Up Like This.”

You’ve seen this high ponytail on top celebrities like Rihanna, but it’s more than just a day look. The hair trick called ‘Pineappling,’ will give you a lot more extra time in the AM. Instead of working tirelessly with way too much product to salvage your sexy hair from the night before, just practice your best hair pineapple, and you’re good to add twenty extra minutes or so to your alarm clock.

There are, of course, a couple of trade secrets to help you balance product and set your hair the night before for a successful Pineappling. We’ll talk about a few tips we heard through the grapevine about Pineappling for overnight curly hair, straight locks and wavy styles. No joke. With NuMe, we’ve got you covered in the style department because no one wants to spend hours on a hairstyle just to have it vanish before the day is done. You’re not Cinderella, so let your beauty linger just a little bit longer. And yeah, if you’ve got the Pen Pineapple Apple Pen song stuck in your head so do we. Ugh.

Inside LAFW Spring 2018 With NuMe

MaryMe-JimmyPaul

The name says it all and we agree. We want these looks to marry our closets because who doesn’t love a good tease. Oh, behave. This collection draws a fine line, running in all directions, between culture, couture and creativity. With inspiration stemming from every decade following the 1960s, hairstylists brought life and volume to outlandish mashups of textures and fabrics emphasized further by the big hair.

Each look started with a seemingly common hairstyle like the ponytail, bun and classic updo, and took it up a few notches into a chaotic but perfectly set style. Each hair served a particular purpose in molding the final look. To create your own MaryMe-JimmyPaul style, tease every bit of your hair from the bottom up and pin away. Remember to be gentle with your tresses when teasing to avoid hair damage over time. A root lifter such as NuMe Root Werk or NuMe Fresh N’ Fab Dry Shampoo Aerosol can improve the set of your base look before styling.

Loosen Up Your Tight Hairstyles to Prevent Thinning Hair

Scalp Stress Is Real - Hairstyles and Techniques That Cause It

When your hair is in pain that can make you feel all sorts of things. The issue can also cause you to wonder what is going on with your hair and why. Itching, burning, and soreness in your scalp, especially when you move your hair is more than just uncomfortable; it’s a sign that something is happening. Your hair is trying to tell you that it’s being pulled too tightly or set in a way that causes the follicle to experience stress at the root which makes your scalp feel sore.

Get Your Facts Straight: A Complete Hair Straightener Guide for Your Hair Type

Do I Need Stone Ceramic, Tourmaline Ceramic or Titanium?

For an in-depth look at what to consider when deciding between tourmaline and titanium, check out our Classic Curling Wand vs Magic Curling Wand Guide. Here’s a quick breakdown on each of all NuMe materials to help you get started:

100% Stone Ceramic

Gentle, non-damaging heat styling.
Best for medium to thick hair types.
Heats quickly and distributes heat evenly.
Because of the quality of pure stone ceramic, avoid dropping or banging these tools--they’re delicate.

100% Tourmaline Ceramic

Safe for any hair type - thin, medium, thick, and even dyed or damaged.
Perfect those who plan to style with a straightener every day, since tourmaline ceramic doesn't damage hair.
Tourmaline emits high levels of negatively charged ions, leaving hair smooth and conditioned.

100% Pure Titanium

For those with coarse hair, for special occasions, or for professional use.
Be advised this is a powerful material that provides an intense and even heat so it’s not meant for everyday use, especially on fine hair.
Please consult with a styling professional to find out if titanium is the right for your hair.

The Best Straightener for Curling Hair

Create the Curl of Your Dreams With the NuMe Megastar Hair Straightener

It might seem strange to use a straightener to curl your hair. With all the curling wands out there, why would you even consider a straightener if coiled strands are what you crave? Well, it’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. It’s easy to create glam, gorgeous, glossy, cascading curls with a straightener -- as long as it’s thin and has rounded edges like the NuMe Megastar Hair Straightener.

In fact, beginners and those who are all thumbs when it comes to styling their hair find it easier and safer to curl with a straightener because fingers don’t touch the heated surface, just the outer coating. But when coiling strands of hair around a curling wand, the hot barrel is exposed, increasing the burn potential.

Thinking about a Facelift? Read this First

WHAT IS QUICKLIFT?

The QuickLift is a type of mini facelift procedure that offers superior results over other techniques. While most mini lifts focus on removing excess skin, the QuickLift also repositions underlying tissue and muscle, suturing it into place for a natural and long-lasting result. The technique was developed about ten years ago, and Dr. Lensink is one of the few plastic surgeons trained and experienced in this method.

Despite the dramatic results that can be achieved with the QuickLift, this procedure is significantly less invasive than a traditional deep plane facelift. This means patients enjoy smaller incisions, less scarring and faster recovery times while meeting their expectations regarding a more youthful appearance.

Over 40? These Are the Anti-Aging Procedures for You

THE COLLAGEN FACTOR

Collagen, a protein the body produces throughout our lives, is the key to smooth, supple skin in our youth. Unfortunately, our bodies don’t produce collagen at the same levels as we age. By the time we reach our 40s, collagen levels have decreased by about 20 percent. By the time we hit our 50s, depletion has increased to 30 percent. As collagen diminishes, we see signs of aging like loose skin and the formation of wrinkles.

While some dermal fillers are designed to stimulate collagen production, PRP is a proven method to turn back the aging process and restore a youthful look using the body’s natural processes.

GET A MORE YOUTHFUL LOOK IN 20 MINUTES

HydraFacial MD®—A Hydrating and Nourishing Facial

While microdermabrasion is a dry method of resurfacing the skin, HydraFacial MD® is a wet, hydrating facial that gives back to the skin in more ways than one. The HydraFacial MD® is a four-part system, employing a series of treatment tanks that connect to a small hand-piece using a built-in vortex technology. Instead of following the same methods of traditional microdermabrasion or diamond facials, the HydraFacial continually sprays a vortex of cleansing, exfoliating and nutrient-infusing serums into your skin. This comfortable, effective skin treatment is now available at Dr. Lensink’s office.

4 Things To Give Up For Younger Skin

SUGAR

Sugar may be sweet, but it has a dark side. Sodas and energy drinks are full of sugar, and people are drinking way too many of them. Sugary drinks, cookies, and candies ruin your skin because sugar molecules cling to your proteins, collagen and elastin fibers, which are responsible for rebuilding new cells. The more sugar you consume, the more sagging and volume loss you experience because your skin is oversaturated. When sugar gets in the way, new nutrients can’t get through, so your cells become dehydrated and inflammation occurs. Patients that have acne should stay away from excess sugar as much as possible. The next time you crave sugar, remember that your body is probably telling you it needs hydration.
